Return to Beehive Island! Astonishing Treasure!

Luo Tian looked toward the king, who lay in a wretched state sprawled across the giant ice floe, and raised his hand to make a grasping motion through the air—

Gravity erupted, and the king's body was yanked up as if by an invisible hand, lifting him off the ice and sending him hurtling through the air!

"No—!!!"

The king let out a shriek of absolute despair:

"Spare me!! Lord Luo Tian, spare me!! I'll give you all the treasure! I'll give you the throne! I'll give you everything!! Just spare my life—!!!"

He had been wrong.

Wrong beyond measure.

He never should have provoked this god of slaughter.

This wasn't a man; he was a monster, a devil, a natural disaster walking upon the earth!

But Luo Tian remained expressionless.

For a fool as fickle and insatiable as this, he felt not a shred of pity.

At the tip of his fist, a point of intensely compressed repulsive force began to coalesce.

It was a Singularity formed by compressing the repulsive power of Shinra Tensei to its absolute limit.

Then, he threw a punch, striking the king square in the body just as he flew before him.

BOOM—!!!!

Space shattered under the force of that punch.

The violent shockwave of repulsive force vaporized the king on the spot, leaving not even a bone behind!

Immediately after, the residual repulsive force spread out in a fan shape, covering the entire area ahead!

BOOM—!!!!

An invisible torrent of repulsion surged forward like a tsunami!

Wherever it passed, the ice layer was completely torn away; soldiers, warhorses, cannons, banners... everything was pushed into the distance by that terrifying repulsive force.

The torrent of repulsion pushed forward for a full three kilometers before gradually dissipating.

And along that three-kilometer path...

There was nothing left.

The ice had been completely stripped away, revealing the black frozen earth beneath.

Soldiers, weapons, corpses... all had been cleared away, as if wiped from the map by an invisible giant hand.

An army of one hundred thousand, under this single blow...

Vanished into dust.

The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence.

The pirates who had been moving the treasure witnessed this scene, standing frozen in shock, their minds reeling.

They stood with mouths agape and eyes wide, completely unaware that the treasure in their hands had fallen to the ground.

The scene that had just unfolded completely transcended their understanding.

One man, destroying an army of one hundred thousand.

This wasn't a war; it was... a massacre.

It was a god crushing ants.

They had never imagined that executive Luo Tian was this powerful—he hadn't even needed to draw his blade to grind that army of one hundred thousand into powder.

Beyond the shock, awe and worship welled up from the depths of their hearts.

This was the awe of absolute power, the worship of the strong.

On this sea, strength was everything.

And Luo Tian was already standing at the pinnacle of strength.

Luo Tian withdrew his stance and turned, stepping through the air to teleport back beside the pirate ship.

His expression remained calm, as if he had just casually swatted a few flies.

"Continue moving the cargo."

His indifferent voice roused the pirates from their shock.

"Yes, yes!!"

"Hurry! Speed it up!"

"Get all the treasure onto the ship! Don't leave a single thing behind!"

The pirates moved as if injected with adrenaline, their speed several times faster than before.

The way they looked at Luo Tian was no longer just awe; it now carried a near-fanatical devotion.

With such a powerhouse leading them, the Rocks Pirates... what could stop them from conquering the world?

Four days later, the pirate ship of Luo Tian successfully returned to Beehive Island.

At the docks, the crew members were busy unloading a mountain of treasure from the ship.

Coincidentally, the Plunder Fleet led by the other commanders also returned one after another on the same day.

"Jiehahaha... Luo Tian, your haul this trip is quite something!"

Shiki stood with his arms crossed, watching the treasure being continuously moved out from the hold, filling nearly half the dock, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"What you brought back alone... is almost equal to the combined gains of our three fleets."

The combined fleets of Shiki, Newgate, and John had plundered eight islands, three pirate crews, and two kingdoms, with a total treasure value of approximately 200 billion Beli.

And this single ship of Luo Tian's...

Just the portion already moved out was worth at least 150 billion.

And judging by the looks of it, there was still at least half left inside the hold.

This guy always managed to cause such a shocking stir every time he made a move.

"Do you even need to say it, Shiki?"

Beside him, John's tone was thick with jealousy:

"That is the Glacier Treasure... the family fortune accumulated by the Happo Navy over a dozen generations; it's likely even fatter than the batch of Heavenly Tribute we snatched before."

His gaze toward the treasure was incredibly complex.

He had coveted that legendary treasure in the West Blue for many years, having conducted countless private investigations and secretly calculating a chance to make a move.

He had even formulated a detailed plan: first, incite internal strife within the Happo Navy, then take advantage of the chaos...

He hadn't expected Captain Rocks to be one step ahead, and to have sent Luo Tian, no less.

Now that things had reached this point, he didn't even have the right to complain; who told him his strength wasn't up to par?

Who told him he didn't possess Luo Tian's bizarre spatial ability, allowing him to cross half the world to execute a mission?

John couldn't help but glance at Luo Tian again, his thoughts churning:

Such a massive amount of treasure... could this guy have secretly kept a portion for himself?

If it were him, he would definitely have hidden away at least thirty percent!

"Alright, John, keep those thoughts of yours in check."

Seeing this, Silver Axe frowned and reminded him in a low voice:

"These treasures will eventually be converted into weapons, ammunition, and supplies to be added to the crew's collective treasury.

When it comes time to distribute resources, your share naturally won't be missing."

Silver Axe paused, his voice dropping even lower:

"This is a critical period; don't cause trouble just because you're green with envy. If you make the captain unhappy, you know the consequences."

John's expression shifted slightly, and he turned his head away sullenly, though the corner of his eye still couldn't help but drift toward the treasure.

Silver Axe shook his head and turned to Luo Tian:

"That said, Luo Tian, didn't you make a bit too much noise going to get those things this time?"

He unfolded a newspaper, the front-page headline reading:

[Shocking Change in the West Blue! King of Flower Country Dies Suddenly, 100,000-Strong Army Wiped Out, Glacier Treasure Mysteriously Vanishes!]

[Rocks Pirates Commander Luo Tian Suspected of Appearing in the West Blue; Coincidence or...?]

When they saw the headline earlier, they had all assumed Luo Tian's mission was to wipe out the Flower Country.

Only now did they realize that Luo Tian had also gone to plunder treasure.

As for why the King of Flower Country and those 100,000 soldiers were wiped out?

That was obviously because those blind fools had sought their own deaths.

"Gurararara... That King of Flower Country must have had seawater in his brain to dare provoke our Rocks Pirates."

Newgate took a swig of wine and laughed boisterously.

He knew Luo Tian's personality well; unless the other party provoked him or committed something unforgivable, Luo Tian wouldn't have "erased" them and their 100,000-strong army from this world.

Afterward, Luo Tian successfully received half of the Glacier Treasure as his share.

These treasures were absorbed by him through gravity into the Spatial Warehouse in the palm of his right hand for storage.
